Direct Install on iPhone Using Universal Link (iOS 17.4+): How to Add Your Figabytes eSIM with One Tap

If you’re using an iPhone running iOS 17.4 or newer, you can install your Figabytes eSIM instantly using a Universal Link — no QR code scanning, no manual setup. This is the fastest and simplest way to activate your eSIM.

Below is your step-by-step guide.

✅ What Is Direct Install (Universal Link)?

A Universal Link is a secure installation link provided by Figabytes.
When opened on an iPhone, it automatically triggers Apple’s built-in “Add eSIM” flow.

No QR code.
No copy-pasting activation codes.
Just tap → confirm → done.

This method works on:

• iPhone models supporting eSIM

• iOS 17.4 and above

📱 How to Install Your Figabytes eSIM Using Direct Install

Step 1 — Connect to Wi-Fi

Make sure your iPhone is online via Wi-Fi. eSIM downloads require internet access.

Step 2 — Open Your Figabytes Installation Link

Tap the Direct Install (Universal Link) sent in your order email or inside your Figabytes dashboard/app.

You should see a popup like:

“Add eSIM”
“Figabytes Mobile Data Plan”

Step 3 — Tap “Continue”

Your iPhone will begin downloading the eSIM profile.

Step 4 — Wait for Activation

You may see a loading screen while your iPhone:

• Downloads the profile

• Adds the eSIM

• Activates it with the network

This usually takes under 30 seconds.

Step 5 — Choose Your Data Line

Once installed:

Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Line → select “Figabytes”

Step 6 — Turn ON Data Roaming

For travel plans, you must enable Data Roaming:

Settings → Mobile Data → Figabytes → Data Roaming ON

Your plan will only start counting days when you connect to a supported network at your destination.

❗ “Unable to Add eSIM” alert

Try:
